Carbon Fiber Hood finished. Happy with it, since my yaris is about 7 years old and alot of rock chips on paint.

Now THAT is sweetness man, looks hot. Love it. Will be interested to see how it holds up to the elements, I doubt I would ever do it to mine. Winter here hits -45C, dunno if wrap likes that kind of cold.

How long did it take?

Our hood is very easy, not alot of curves, it's took less than 15 minutes, but the best way to vinyl wrap is at 80F.

yes i'll see how it holds up. Since it's my everyday driving, outside 100% of the time.

sure i will take a picture tomorrow and post it here.
We bought it directly from vinyl manufacturer that make it to the big boys but with no name/logo print on the paper to save us some moneys.
I compared it with 3M, Oracle and Avery and see no different in term of thickness, Stretch.....Real easy to work with. Just make sure you do it right.

Looks great! My stonechips could stand the same treatment. Cost for material?

the carbon fiber like the one on my yaris is a little expensive, since it's come with 5 years warranty, real flexible and also adhesive free when you remove it, you are looking at about $80 dollars for the hood.

so is the end result going to be making your whole car look carbon fiber, because that would be an awesome look. :D

Looks great. I've thought about doing this to my hood, too which also has a bunch of rock chips.
